Rubella is a contagious disease caused by a virus. It is a single-strand RNA virus with a stereotype that does not react with other togaviruses. Outbreaks of rubella occur around every 5-9 years globally with a transmission rate of 10-30%. When someone is infected with rubella, they experience symptoms like chills, fever, uncontrollable sneezing and coughing, and rashes. When an infected person coughs, it spreads the virus through the air and into the respiratory tract of a healthy person. Once it enters inside a healthy person, the rubella virus enters the cells membrane. It then self-replicates and causes the newly infected person to experience the same symptoms. However, if the infected person stays in isolation, takes medication to lower the symptoms and the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) or MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella) vaccine for immunization, it can easily prevent an outbreak. In this manner, the cycle of infection eventually ends.
